What does noshow mean in the hotel?

"No appointment" means not showing up as agreed, that is, the guest booked a hotel and didn't check in as agreed.

OTA cash payment is the earliest cooperation mode. Its business process is that after the hotel signs a cooperation agreement with the OTA intermediary platform, the OTA platform will put the hotel products on the shelves, the guests will make an appointment for hotel consumption after seeing the products, and pay the room rate to the hotel after arriving at the store, and the hotel will pay the OTA platform according to the agreed commission.

brief introduction

Most hotels are used to this cooperation mode, which has something to do with the hotel's view of OTA. In the hotel's view, OTA is just a distribution platform. Naturally, OTA sells the room first and then calculates the commission for OTA. However, in OTA's view, it is unreasonable.

In OTA's eyes, they are a platform to serve end customers. In order to serve these customers well, they need to buy rooms from hotels and then package these products and sell them to customers. In their eyes, hotels are just suppliers. It is normal for suppliers to bet on the payment, so they will be more inclined to pay in advance.

No matter what the two sides think, the cooperation between OTA and hotels will not change, and cash payment is still one of the main ways of cooperation.
